Sala Ayutthaya

About Sala Ayutthaya

Effortless style and photo-worthy views in a city whose history is second to none.

Across acres of rice fields and tucked away from the clatter of Bangkok, the ancient kingdom capital of Ayutthaya is a true gem. Once you've delved into the jaw-dropping temples and ruins, return to your abode beside the gently flowing Chao Phraya River. And you won't have to let go of the city's beauty just yet - Sala Ayutthaya gazes out towards the enigmatic Wat Phutthai Sawan where saffron-robed monks collect alms at dawn. Behind rustic red brick walls that mimic the grand temples, the hotel has a chic and understated design where a day isn't complete without a coconut cocktail at the rooftop bar.

Property details

The property

After the eye-catching streets of Ayutthaya, the hotel provides a cool and calming setting to put your feet up. At its centre is a lovely pool to cut through the heat of the day and the waterfront restaurant serves up a tantalising menu of tangy Thai classics and buttery seafood - don't miss out on the signature river prawns. There is also seating in the industrial-style dining room and the smooth-as-silk rooftop bar offers inventive cocktails over moonlit river views.

The rooms

Each room has its own layout but you'll find the style quite similar with high ceilings, wooden detailing and sparkling white decor. The view is a unique factor, with a choice of the river, temples or tree-lined waterfront. The bathrooms have an edgy feel with glass-walled bathtubs and the king-sized beds have ornate black headboards embossed with gold tigers. There is one duplex suite with two bedrooms and a spacious deck, while the pool suite takes the top prize with a secluded plunge pool and oodles of privacy.

Activities

Step onto a remodelled rice barge to sail down the river, taking in grand temples and time-worn ruins before pausing at Thailand's original floating market for a taste of local cuisine. Get lost in the history of this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site where tales of feuds, power and war surround you. Walk the trails of the Historical Park and see its striking temples, climb to the top of the erstwhile Royal Palace for an epic view of the city and cycle down alleyways to discover the charms of Ayutthaya on your own terms.

Why we love it

The hotel truly feels like a sanctum to enjoy a little down-time...the perfect contrast to the aged temples that surround it.

Insiders Tip

Don't leave without taking a peek at the in-house art gallery!

Something to think about

After the vibrancy of Bangkok, Sala Ayutthaya may seem a little low on 'atmosphere' but it makes up for it with the view.
